Facilitating cross-Straits exchange

Xiamen has played a leading role in promoting exchange with Taiwan by holding frequent cross-Straits events. The 2020 Xiamen Industry Expo, which took place last July, was attended by more than 600 machinery and electronics companies.

According to the measures, Xiamen will take advantage of cross-Straits fairs to promote cooperation between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland in trade and logistics, culture and tourism, financial services, screen displays, computing, software and information, and semiconductors, and integrated circuits.

Speeding up digitalization of exhibitions

Xiamen worked with Alibaba Group in 2020 to upgrade the online edition of CIFIT, and many other fairs were also held both online and offline.

The measures encouraged organizers and venues to host online fairs powered by modern information technology and develop new business models through innovation in services, management, and marketing.

The city will continue to optimize its big data platform for exhibitions in order to meet the diverse needs of organizers.

Improving services and efficiency

In light of local exhibition companies' needs, the measures make clear the responsibilities of government departments at all levels, upgrade the management system, and establish requirements for services.

The measures highlight the importance of cooperation between public security, fire, and health departments, which will not only increase service quality and work efficiency, but also reduce the cost of law enforcement. Industrial standards and a credit system for the exhibition industry is also being planned.
